I figure I'll start a thread, although I don't know how much I will be able to tolerate...

[roenick99]

The Cubbies catch a little break with an attempted pickoff throw that got away and Theriot goes all the way to third. Nobody out.

[roenick99]

Base hit Jones. 1-0 Cubs We actually have a lead...

[roenick99]

Derrek Lee looks like he couldn't hit a beach ball with that swing. Very non-chalant...

1 out.

[roenick99]

Matt Murton is batting cleanup? Huh. Interesting.

[roenick99]

Wow, he knocked the **** out of that one. Almost got it passed the pitcher...

[roenick99]

Wow, Derosa had one blown past him for strike three. 1-0 Cubs. Rockies coming up.

[roenick99]

One out, man on first due to a walk and Matt Holiday up to bat with a 3-0 count. Not cool, Kenny. Not cool.

[roenick99]

Fontenot with a beautiful catch in foul ground for out #2!!

[NeifiPerezMVP2007]

Its great to see the offense beating the starter into the ground. Maybe we can do what the Rockies did to the Brewers!

It looks like that may happen! :D

[VanMan]

Rockies starter got rocked. ;)

Nice to see the Cub bats (with the exception of Lee so far) heat up tonight. Too bad Z had to start LAST NIGHT instead of tonight. He'd be 2-for-2 with a double and a homer tonight.

[VanMan]

Cubs coming up again in the top of the fourth.

Len just said Lou had a brief team meeting before the game tonight, two hours before gametime.

Murton takes the first pitch low. Buckholtz's next pitch misses away, 2-0. Grounder to short, Tulowitzki gets him, one down.

[VanMan]

DeRosa takes a strike. Next pitch is away, 1-1. Curve misses inside, 2-1. He bloops one into left for a single.

[VanMan]

Fontenot grounds one foul to first, 0-1. He flies one deep to right, Spilbours ranges back to the track to chase it down for the second out.

[VanMan]

Kendall takes one low and away. Curve is over for strike one. Fastball misses low and away, 2-1. He fouls one off to the right, 2-2. Foul back to the ad sign. Fastball misses up and in, it's full, DeRosa will go on the next pitch. Fly ball to center, Sullivan dives, can't get it. DeRosa scores, Kendall around second, tries for third, throw not in time, 10-1 Cubbies!!!

[VanMan]

Pie takes a strike. Curve misses away, 1-1. Foul off to the left and out of play, 1-2. Breaker wide, 2-2. Another foul back to the left. Curve is over for a called strike three. A run on two hits, one left.

Middle 4th, Cubs 10, Rockies 1

[VanMan]

Torrealba takes a curve low, ball one. Fastball ripped foul, 1-1. Fastball inside, 2-1. Foul ball, 2-2. Liner to left, Murton is there, he has to hop to get it, but he does.

[VanMan]

Baker fouls the first pitch to the screen. Slider low and in, 1-1. Sinker fouled back to the screen, 1-2. Curve just missed away, 2-2. Curve that didn't take the break misses away, full count. Fastball misses high and away, ball four.
